Basketball Computer Games

Think this been talked about before, but does anyone have a favourite computer Basketball game?

Just been playing Team USA Basketball on my Sega Mega Drive.
This is one disturbing game,former sixers Mike McKay and Phil Smyth both are in the boomers team.
The disturbing thing is that phil has a whole head of hair in the game!
I dont think ive ever seen a picture of the general with a full head of hair!!

Anyone else play Lakers vs Celtics when they were kids? It was released in 1989.



It's up for download as "abandonware": Download

Or what about Michael Jordan in Flight?



This one's available for download on the same site.

Hahah oh mj in flight was good back in it's day. The graphics were outstanding for it's time. I have an original copy of the game in excellent condition in box and everything :P

I also enjoyed playing nba jam on SNES (which I also have a copy of). And also NBA Hangtime on N64 and Computer (also have a copy of the computer version).

All excellent games for their times :P

I also remember playing flinstones basketball :P

Lakers vs Celtics was amazing....the fact that anywhere within 20ft Kareem would skyhook had me passing to him every time!

These days I'm cranking NBA Live 2005 on the PC. Awesome stuff.

Strewth, Lakers v Celtics looks good in colour. I had the CGA version (4 colours - black, white, light teal and purple) ..... and I too loved Kareem. Give him the ball anywhere within the 3-point line and he'd skyhook for 2 points.

Isaac, how do you get the lakers vs celtics game to run on new PCs. Have to ask as I need some old school entertainment.

I'm getting an error message.

error 2003: Integer divide by 0

Not sure, haven't tried. Have a look around that site -- I think there is an app called DOSBox that you have to get to emulate older computers.

Moses - EGA all the way baby! Jordan dunked it from the foul line in that game, like 4 different spins and pumps!

Run and Gun was awesome. Used to go to Twighlight Zone at Glenelg and blow all my change on it.

NBA Hang Time on N64. Vlade Divac and George Zidek tore it up. Massive hook shots from the foul line, and little finger rolls by George Muresan.

lakers vs celtics, if im remembering correctly, you can only get a buzzer beater up if there was 2 seconds left. that game is pure gold.

World League Basketball on Super Nintendo. If no1 was between you and the basket, you could make a shot from anywhere on the floor!

All the best games have great play-a-bility. Graphics are good, but original NBA Jam has stood the test of time

In the Zone 2!!!!

Only stopped playing in the other day.

NBA street 1 on ps2 for the blocks. That game was a stress reliever. Anyone played number 3?

Some ups for the Lakers vs. Celtics game. It was also my introduction to, not just computer games, but the NBA in general. There's a version of this game found on Wikipedia with screenshots, too. I don't think it's the same game, though. I became a Utah Jazz fan because the yellow-haired (?) Stockton was as pure a shooter as there was in the game, and K. Malone dunked from anywhere near the key.
